WFD led a project for the legal recognition of sign languages in Asia, supported by Nippon Foundation.
We completed training courses in 6 countries, Indonesia🇮🇩, Laos🇱🇦, Malaysia🇲🇾, Singapore🇸🇬, Thailand🇹🇭 and Vietnam🇻🇳.
We invited them to review the results and their advocacy work.
The WFD President had a meeting with Ms Lin Yang, Deputy Executive Secretary for Programme at United Nations ESCAP to discuss the legal recognition of sign languages in Asia and the Pacific.
Several opportunities for collaboration were discussed.
